Why don't make your question more clear?
1.Impounding can be done in case of less stamp fee.
2. S.11 of A&C Act deals with appointment of arbitrators.
I see your question has no relation to these two.

the proceedings have been intiated under section 11 of the Arbitration and conciliation act 1996 for appointment of arbitrator before the high court. the said proceedings are intiated on the strength of an Agreement which is not duly stamped.
hence my question is can a Judge who is adjudicating a case under Section 11 of the Arbitration act, has the power to impound a document, which is produced before him.
i request for a judgment if any

I feel judge has power to impound an understamped document under his powers under S.151 CPC. However, it is a curable defect. It does not come in the way of implemntation of the award, once defect is cured.
